Chapter 11: What we can really do
Location: Open space
The Juggernaught sailed out of the Void, its polar opposite in sight. The sun sized ship slowed to a halt and faced the super galaxy clone. Its thousands of hatches opened and trillions of carriers, strike ships, and fighters showered out of the ship. They separated and flew for their destinations on the far parts of the Void.
Location: Sicron's Void, Sorran 3
"Captain, target is in range, arming cannon 4." The Officer said as his men prepared to fire upon the satellite dish on the next mountain. 5 Carriers were docked on the ground behind the row of cannons on the ridge. Strike ships waited in the area to drop their cloaking shields, allowing them to begin firing. The other officers reported in and the cannons were ready.
"Very good, fire at will." The captain said. At once, the cannons fired. A few of the powerful lasers missed but the rest struck the generator, blowing off pieces of it. On command, a swarm of Sicron's fighters flew out and began to attack the cannons. The Dodrando force came back by releasing their fighters and dropping the cloaking shield on their strike ships. The battle ensued, and the sky rained of lasers and flaming ships.
"Sir, enemy fighters are holding position, we require back-up to advance." One transmission said.
"Understood…" The captain replied He typed in a new command; Code: DRAGON. Within the carriers, a red light changed to blue. Pilots of the highest regard entered their custom, elite fighters. They were dragon fighters, the most advanced fighter craft ever to fly. They resembled dragons themselves, with the cockpit located in the head and the rest of the body packed with weapons. The light changed from blue to yellow, and the fighters activated. The monitors inside lit up and the weapons came online. The light changed to green and one by one the fighters launched from their positions. They flew out of the carriers and quickly joined the battle. In the fray, one of the dragon shaped craft landed in the center of a group of enemy walkers. They locked onto the ship and charged their weapons. The dragon fighter didn't give them a chance as it opened its mouth and unleashed a load of white hot flames. The blast of heat incinerated whatever it touched, leaving nothing but charred black machines. The fighter proceeded to run and spread its mechanical wings. The pilot activated the dagger wings and the edges of the wings suddenly became sharp as diamonds. As it ran, it used the sharp edges of the wings to slice and dice anything it touched, leaving a trail of cut up debris behind it. As it ran, it shot a bomb straight up into the air. The head sized explosive went up enough to be in the middle of the swarm of enemy fighters. Before it could descend it detonated, but an explosion is not what came out, but rather one of the most destructive weapons in the Void. After much research, it was discovered that breaking the sound barrier would cause long term atmosphere effects on the planet in question. So engines were designed to bend the barrier rather than breaking it. This however caused modern armor systems to disintegrate once they enter an area where the barrier is broken. That's why when the bomb detonated, the sound barrier shattered for a quarter mile around. The fighters in the air didn't stand a chance. With no distractions, the cannons could finally target the generator again. The lasers fired again, this time the satellite dish exploded in a fiery explosion that filled the sky.
Location: Juggernaught
"Sir, generator 2 has been destroyed." The map coordinator said as he viewed the screen. The commander nodded and turned to the guardians.
"This is it, your ship is ready. Our pilot will take you past the final shield and land in the spirit world of that Void. We believe the generator is in their version of the temple of the Soul Guardians."
"Generator 4 has been destroyed."
"I wish there is more we can do, but I'm afraid that our cannons can't penetrate that final shield, it's up to you." The commander explained.
"Generator 1 has been destroyed."
"Don't sweat it…it's our job…sadly…"David said. The guardians turned and walked to the docking bay. They boarded their transport ship, before it flew off.
